Background/Objectives: The NLRP3 inflammasome-Caspase-1-IL-1β pyroptotic axis participates in peripheral inflammatory responses, yet its function in peripheral-central neuroimmune crosstalk underlying endometriosis (EM)-associated pain remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify whether …
Endometriosis (EMS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are both chronic inflammatory disorders with overlapping clinical features, suggesting a potentially shared etiology. Although epidemiological studies have reported an association between the …
Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and focal adenomyosis of the outer myometrium (FAOM) are closely related chronic inflammatory conditions that often coexist. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammation response index …
Does pyruvate carboxylase drive the progression of endometriosis, and, if so, what is the underlying mechanism?
Endometriosis and uterine leiomyomas are common chronic gynecologic diseases associated with immune dysregulation, inflammation and aberrant cellular proliferation, processes that contribute to increased oxidative stress. Current management relies largely on …
Orofacial pain (OFP) is a multidimensional clinical problem that includes conditions such as temporomandibular disorders (TMD). It is often associated with chronic overlapping pain conditions (COPCs), including gastrointestinal, gynecological and …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder marked by ectopic endometrial-like tissue growth, resulting in pelvic pain, infertility, and significant declines in quality of life. Despite extensive research, current therapies …
We examined clinical, genetic, and molecular links between sleep disorders and endometriosis. Women aged 20-54 years in NHANES 2005-2006 were analyzed with survey-weighted logistic regression. Bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) …
The female reproductive system is a hormonally driven, immune-active, and structurally dynamic system in which estrogen signaling, inflammation, and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling interact to support essential reproductive processes. Cyclical …
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a prevalent, disabling syndrome encompassing overlapping disorders such as endometriosis/adenomyosis, bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis, irritable bowel syndrome, vulvodynia, and myofascial pain syndrome. Despite distinct clinical …
